First Chatroom test

Well, the turn out was smaller - but that was a Good Thing.

Me 8-) and Frank McConnell started up about 20:02 CST. He's on the West
Coast so it would have been about 18:02 for him 8-) were joined later by
Hans Pufal in France - about 4:08 AM for him (what a trooper!)

We tried out various stuff. It seems the Chatroom still has a few bugs.
Bill Kendrick (the guy who wrote it) had mentioned some - but not all that
we ran across. Still, it seemed to work well. Frank and Hans were running
either IE or Netscape. I tried it - my poor little Linux system with 8 MB
always did belly up with that running - so I went back to Lynx.

Seems to like to say you just joined randomly (that was noted) and then
about 95 minutes into it - the whole log got cleaned out. That MIGHT be a
feature 8-)

Oh there are a ton of features I haven't played with yet. You can put a
picture on the chat line as well (scary in some cases 8-) and all sorts of
robotic things to do - set up a Eliza talking to people 8-) and then also
throwing gifs in to replace words.

We are going to try it again on Thursday. Maybe earlier. Maybe later.
